What Happened Here?

[Westly32]

I burned a dvd Tuesday. Everything went fine, or so I thought. When I put it in the dvd recorder to play it however, the disc was read as being empty, with nothing on it, and a full 2hrs (SP Mode) available. The pc reads it as closed, and the contents were playable there.
So my question is, what happened?

Here's the Imgburn Verify and Burn log.

Hi West. Guess what it happened to me the other day w/my Toshiba DVD Recorder. Copied and burned flawlessly w/Imgburn. These recorders are sometimes funny w/certain software, especially the ones we're not suppose to talk about regarding Rule 19. That said don't sweat it. Were you able to make another copy and try to play it in the same player? If so did it go through? If yes just keep moving to the next blank. If not try using a different proggie for transcoding. This helps a lot of the time. The more weapons you bring to the war the better chances of surviving.

I have 3 copy proggies and 3 burning proggies. ImgBurn 31 for burning, especially multiple files. The rest are great for burning as well, but more better for their transcoding than anything else. I hope I'm not borderline w/19 mentioning transcoding. Lol...
